UPDATE: Rumor has it Timbaland will contribute two songs to the new Aaliyah album.

Things change, but damn. I think some things just have to be, just because. And no, Missy and Tim ain’t the hottest in the hood these days. But still. No Missy or Timbaland on a new Aaliyah just ain’t right. Now, I think they should mix it up a bit and have some Drake in there. I don’t think they need to pretend like its the 90’s or 2000’s but they should respect A’s fans…current and past. That said, Missy and manager Mona Scott issued as statement about it all.

Mona:

“Although Missy and Timbaland always strive to keep the memory of their close friend alive, we have not been contacted about the project nor are there any plans at this time to participate. We’ve seen the reports surfacing that they have been confirmed to participate but that is not the case. Both Missy and Timbaland are very sensitive to the loss still being felt by the family so we wanted to clear up any misinformation being circulated.”

Missy:
“Tim and I carry Aaliyah with us everyday, like so many of the people who love her. She will always live in our hearts. We have nothing but love and respect for her memory and for her loved ones left behind still grieving her loss. They are always in our prayers.”
